Well,

After struggling through the first page of that thread, I'm about ready to
give up.  After weeding out the personal BS, and the 4 year old girlish
attacks made back and forth, I have to agree with Tim and say: "Reiser FS
is absolute shit".  That goes for v3 that seems to have data stability
problems, and v4 which is redundant in coding style, and hard for the
kernel development team to read.
